Tasting Notes

Kurosawa Junmai Kimoto is medium-bodied and dry with vibrant aromas of banana, mango, and subtle spice. The palate reveals layered flavors of caramelized apple, coconut custard, dried pear, and honeyed fruit with a hint of smokiness and lightly earthy, mushroomy undertones. Complex yet harmonious, with a beautifully balanced finish.

About the Sake

Made using the rare, traditional Kimoto brewing method — which relies on native rather than cultured yeasts — this sake from Kurosawa Brewery in Nagano Prefecture delivers a slightly richer, earthier character than modern styles. The result is a sake of exceptional depth and versatility that rewards both casual drinkers and connoisseurs.

“Kimoto Sake is a traditional style relying on the use of native rather than cultured yeasts. This gives the sake a slightly richer, earthier character. Its rounder body and earthiness make it an excellent pairing for medium-fatty fish like yellowtail.” — Rand Sieger, 67Wine

Food Pairing

Pairs beautifully with yellowtail, salmon, sushi, grilled mushrooms, miso-glazed dishes, and light poultry. Enjoy cold or gently warmed.

Klein Constantia Sauvignon Blanc — Constantia, South Africa 2024

Klein Constantia is one of South Africa's most historic and celebrated estates, situated in the Constantia Valley on the slopes of the Cape Peninsula — a site with a winemaking legacy stretching back to the 17th century and home to the legendary Vin de Constance. Their Sauvignon Blanc is a wine of genuine craft and ambition: sourced from 42 individual vineyard blocks across the estate, each fermented separately to allow the terroir of each parcel to express itself before careful blending. Grapes are harvested at 4am to preserve freshness, and the winemaking is a meticulous balance of wild and inoculated fermentation — 80% wild (some ferments taking up to two months to complete), 20% with Non-Saccharomyces Cerevisiae for complexity and natural microbial protection. Ten percent is aged in neutral 500L oak barrels, and the wine spends six months on gross lees before blending and bottling.

The 2024 pours light and bright. The nose is perfumed and atypically complex for Sauvignon Blanc — grapefruit, lime, kiwi, yellow plum, and hints of mango, with a citrus blossom and umami thread. On the palate, it's moreish and textured with a crisp entry, quince, light walnut, flinty mineral elements, and a fresh salinity that gives it real energy. The finish is long, vibrant, and expressive — fanning out beautifully with aeration. Real texture for the variety.

"Atypical for a Sauvignon Blanc — real texture to this Savvy, which is unusual for the variety, fanning out nicely on the finish." — Neal Martin, Vinous, 91 Points

• Vintage: 2024

La Vieille Ferme · Blanc · Luberon · Rhône Valley, France · 2024 · 1.5L Magnum

La Vieille Ferme is produced by the Perrin family — the same family behind Château de Beaucastel, one of the most celebrated estates in all of Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Drawing on generations of expertise in the southern Rhône, the Perrins created La Vieille Ferme as their benchmark everyday wine: a bottle that delivers genuine Rhône character at a price that makes it a weekly staple rather than a special occasion. The Blanc is a blend of Grenache Blanc, Vermentino, Roussanne, and Bourboulenc, sourced from the Luberon appellation and vinified to preserve freshness, aromatics, and the clean mineral character of the region. Now in 1.5L magnum format — double the wine, double the occasion. At $17.99, this is one of the world's great value white wines.

Pale gold in the glass with a bright, inviting hue. The nose opens with citrus blossoms, juicy peach, and ripe pear, with a subtle lift of tropical fruit. On the palate: crisp and refreshing, with flavors of green apple, pear, and zesty lemon carried by lively acidity and a clean, mineral finish. Each variety in the blend plays its role — Grenache Blanc for body, Vermentino for aromatics, Roussanne for texture, Bourboulenc for freshness. Serve well-chilled as a generous aperitif for a crowd, or pair with light seafood, grilled fish, fresh salads, goat cheese, or charcuterie.

Rioja Gran Reserva That Rivals Wines Twice the Price

Marques de Vargas is one of Rioja’s most respected estates, distinguished by its commitment to varietal correctness and minimal intervention. Only indigenous yeasts from the vineyard are used for fermentation — a philosophy that prioritizes terroir expression over the homogenizing effects of commercial yeast. Rather than chasing the heavily extracted, over-oaked style common in the appellation, Marques de Vargas produces a Gran Reserva of remarkable freshness, elegance, and longevity.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2017

Our Professional Review

Bart Hopkins, 67Wine.com: Pale ruby red in color with an intriguing bouquet of wild blackberries, Asian spice, wild flowers, and crushed rocks. On the palate, soft and round with layered complexity of dark fruits and detailed minerality. A great example of why the wines of Etna are all the rage — a delicious rendition!

Expert Reviews – Vintage 2022

Vinous 90 Points: Opens with a burst of autumnal spice, dusty rose and crushed black cherries. Juicy and fresh, with ripe wild berry fruits complemented by minty herbs and a core of vibrant acidity. Finishes with zesty tension as the mouth waters for more. A tart blackberry crunch lingers on the close.

Winemaker Description

The Fessina Erse Etna Rosso is a throwback to the traditional way Etna wines were made — blending red Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio with white indigenous varieties to create a more elegant, feminine profile. Light ruby in color with aromas of wild berries, coriander, cloves, pimento, and pink pepper. Soft, round tannins with spicy complexity and a mineral core that speaks to the volcanic soils of Etna. A picture of Fessina’s melting pot vineyard, where tastes and roots meld together.

Pairing Suggestions

• Sicilian Classics: Pasta alla Norma (eggplant and salted ricotta) or grilled swordfish.
• Meats: Grilled pork, roasted poultry, or charcuterie.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2022

The Wine Enthusiast by Michael Alberty writes 91 Points | For those of you who enjoy a stroll on the creamier side of Chardonnay life, here's a wine to champion. The wine's lemon curd and tangerine aromas are a nice mix of sweet and tang, while a puff of chalkboard dust floats in the background. Gentle acidity caresses flavors of lemon gelato and the caramel-drizzled goodness of a stroopwafel cookie.

Jeb Dunnuck 90 Points | A pale yellow hue, the 2022 Chardonnay Willamette Valley reveals attractive aromas of green melon, lime blossoms, fresh white flowers, and vanilla. Medium-bodied, it’s an approachable and charming white, with a delicately rounded feel and a powdery finish.

Winemaker Description 

Our Professional Review

Rand Sieger, 67Wine Buyer, writes: Only 7.5% alcohol. This is about as good as a Mosel Riesling under $20 can be. Rarely do you find a Spätlese of this quality for such a low price. Classic Mosel with bright white currant fruit, clover honey, and an energetic undercurrent of lime zest and slaty minerality. It really explodes on the palate with juicy, mouthwatering fruit and the perfect balance of sweetness and acidity.

Try this paired with breaded, deep-fried button mushrooms dipped in tartar sauce. The combination will make you smile.

Winemaker Description

The Rauen family in the Mosel has been growing grapes for many generations but began bottling their own wine only in 1983. When Harald Rauen took the reins from his father more than 30 years ago, the first thing he did with their vineyards in the slate-rich soils of Detzem and Thornich was to reduce yields to concentrate on quality over bulk. The result is a line of classically clean and elegant Rieslings. His Spätlese is light-bodied and zesty, just a touch sweet, with notes of apricot, lime, and flint.

Hijos de Antonio Barceló — Gran Vino Sansón | Málaga DO | 750ml

Appellation: Málaga DO, Andalusia, Spain | Style: Fortified Sweet Wine | Format: 750ml

From the sun-scorched hillsides of Andalusia, where the Moscatel grape has been cultivated for centuries, comes one of Spain’s most storied fortified wine traditions — Málaga. Hijos de Antonio Barceló, a historic house with deep roots in the region, crafts the Gran Vino Sansón as a testament to this heritage: rich, complex, and unapologetically indulgent.

Powerful and layered, the Sansón opens with aromas of raisins and dried figs, weaving in liquorice, anise, and bright hints of citrus peel. On the palate it is smooth, rich, and deeply satisfying — the kind of wine that earns its reputation one glass at a time. As the winemaker puts it: “The first glass leads you to the second.”

Wine Details

• Producer: Hijos de Antonio Barceló
• Appellation: Málaga DO, Andalusia, Spain

California's Definitive Old Vine Zinfandel

Turley Wine Cellars is the benchmark producer for old vine Zinfandel in California, farming some of the state's most ancient and storied vineyards. The Old Vines bottling is a masterclass in what age does to a vine — drawing from sites across Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, Lodi, Contra Costa, Amador, and Paso Robles, with vines ranging from 50 to 130 years old. Too small or too new to be vineyard-designates, these sites collectively tell the story of California old vine Zinfandel better than any single vineyard can.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2022 

• Wine Advocate — 92 pts: "The nose is considerably deeper, fuller and more polished, opening with aromas of crushed plums, wild berry preserves, tobacco leaves and autumnal accents. The palate is light- to medium-bodied with a subtly dusty tannin structure and bright acidity. Generous layers of fruit, spice and floral notes on the finish."

Parés Baltà is one of Catalónia's most respected organic estates, farming biodynamically in the Penedès with a deep commitment to indigenous varieties and traditional methods. Their Brut Nature Cava is made exclusively from the classic Cava trio — Xarel·lo, Parellada, and Macabeu — with an emphasis on Xarel·lo, the most characterful and site-expressive of the three. Produced via the traditional method with zero dosage, this is a bone-dry, gastronomic sparkling wine of genuine precision and integrity — the kind of Cava that earns its place alongside Champagne at the table.

The wine pours a pale gold with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose is fresh and inviting — green apple, citrus fruit, and a subtle brioche note from the lees aging. On the palate, it's medium-bodied with a crisp, enticing mouthfeel, superb fine bubbles, and a clean, refreshing, bone-dry finish. Excellent as an aperitif, and a natural match for crema catalana — the local cousin of crème brûlée — a pairing that showcases the wine's precision beautifully.

Bodegas Señorío de Líbano Castillo de Sajazarra Rioja Reserva 2019 750ml The headquarters of this winery is nestled in the picturesque village of Sajazarra, a true gem of a town in La Rioja, Spain. This Reserva blends Tempranillo, Graciano, and Garnacha. Aged 24 months in French and American oak barrels and further aged for 12 months in the bottle. In my opinion, this Reserva drinks more like a Gran Reserva with a nose that opens up with a combination of secondary and tertiary aromas: leather, smoke, mushrooms, and perfectly matured red fruit. The oak adds to the mouthfeel, and its well-integrated tannins serve as proof of why Rioja Reservas are always ready to drink without hesitation. Grab this Reserva and serve with a grilled churrasco. 

- Oscar Garcia Moncada, 67 Wine Buyer

Winemaker Description

Attractive color,colored, pillory red with violet reflects. Very fruity on the nose, hazelnut and  vanilla notes. Unctuous on mouth solid structure, mature tannins and sweets, armonious and long.

Château de Manissy Tête de Cuvée — Tavel, Rhône Valley 2024

The Tête de Cuvée has been Château de Manissy’s flagship bottling since the estate’s very first vintage in 1915 — and nothing has changed, including the label. Made from a biodynamic blend of Grenache, Clairette, and Cinsault sourced from the Tavel appellation in the southern Rhône, this is a rosé built for the table rather than the pool. Fermented with indigenous yeasts, aged nine to twelve months in old 25-hectoliter foudres, and bottled with minimal intervention, it is one of the rare rosés with genuine structure and aging potential. Decanter awarded it 92 points. View From The Cellar 92. Organic. This is Tavel as it has always been — serious, complex, and built to last.

The bouquet is beautifully refined: rhubarb, watermelon, blood orange, dried rose petals, gentle savory notes, and a lovely base of soil tones with a touch of orange peel in the upper register. On the palate, the wine is deep, pure, and full-bodied with lovely acids, excellent focus and grip, a succulent core of red currant and cherry, and a long, complex, impeccably balanced finish. Rich and structured — a Tavel that will age impressively and pair with just about anything.

Beringer is known for establishing many 'firsts' as leaders in the wine industry. We were one of the first gravity fed facilities and among the first to operate using hand-dug caves and cellars. We were the first to give public tours in 1934, starting a Napa Valley hospitality tradition. We are the first and only winery to have both a red and a white wine named #1 Wine of the Year by Wine Spectator Magazine.

Lanson Champagne Père & Fils Brut — Champagne NV

Founded in 1760, Lanson is one of Champagne’s most storied and consistent houses — and the Père & Fils Brut is its definitive expression. Crafted by chef de cave Hervé Dantan from 50% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay, and 15% Meunier sourced from 100 villages across the region, with 30% reserve wines spanning 10 vintages back to 1995, this is a non-vintage Champagne of remarkable depth, consistency, and integrity. Four years on the lees — well above the minimum — adds richness, complexity, and a fine toasty character that sets it apart from the crowd. Decanter calls it “one of the best and most consistent of the bargain set.” At this price, it is hard to argue.

The nose is fresh and inviting: green apple, pear, pie crust, and a touch of toast from extended lees aging. On the palate, it is ripe and well-balanced — Pinot Noir’s weight and red fruit character is lifted by Chardonnay’s precision and fine bubbles, with a crisp, dry finish of real elegance. Already drinking beautifully, with the structure to reward short-term cellaring.

Decanter 92 — “A class act and a resounding statement of talent. One of the best and most consistent of the bargain set.”
Wine Enthusiast 92 — “Back on form, giving a ripe style dominated by Pinot Noir. Fine balance between the fruits and touches of toast from four years on the lees.”
James Suckling 92 — “A fresh, balanced palate with green apples, pie crust and pears. Fine bubbles and a crisp, dry finish.”

Hahn Founder's Pinot Noir — Arroyo Seco, Monterey County, California 2024

Hahn Family Wines was founded by Nicky Hahn in 1980, when he recognized the extraordinary potential of Monterey County's cool-climate appellations for producing wines of genuine elegance and varietal precision. The Arroyo Seco appellation — a gravelly alluvial plain beneath the Santa Lucia Mountains — is one of California's most distinctive Pinot Noir sites: cool winds funneling in from Monterey Bay ensure gradual, extended ripening and the development of vibrant fruit and natural acidity, while the rocky, well-drained soils enhance intensity and promote balanced ripeness. The Founder's Pinot Noir is Nicky Hahn's personal expression of the appellation — a tribute to the vision that brought Hahn to Monterey and a showcase for everything that makes Arroyo Seco Pinot Noir so compelling at any price.

The nose is vibrant and expressive: red and dark cherry, ripe strawberry, raspberry, and plum, with subtle touches of vanilla, sweet tobacco, and toasted oak. On the palate, silky tannins and excellent acid balance frame flavors of red cherry and raspberry, with a dash of salinity and a hint of earthiness that adds complexity. The finish is long, lingering, and juicy — a classic example of fruit-forward, balanced, supple California Pinot Noir that retains freshness thanks to the cool Monterey climate.

Indaba Chenin Blanc — Western Cape, South Africa 2024

Indaba — the Zulu and Xhosa word for a gathering or meeting of minds — was founded on the belief that great South African wine should be accessible to everyone. Sourced from the Western Cape, where Chenin Blanc has thrived for centuries as the country's most widely planted white variety, this bottling captures everything that makes the grape so beloved in its adopted homeland: freshness, generosity, and effortless drinkability.

The 2024 pours a bright, pale gold. The nose is inviting and fruit-forward — honeyed pear, golden delicious apple, and luscious tropical fruit with a lift of citrus blossom. On the palate, it's full and richly textured yet finishes clean and crisp, with a dash of citrus and a subtle mineral thread that keeps it lively and refreshing from first sip to last.

Mumm Napa Brut Rosé — California NV

Mumm Napa’s Brut Rosé is one of California’s most vibrant and food-friendly sparkling wines — a Pinot Noir-dominant expression that brings the energy and freshness of méthode champenoise winemaking to a beautiful pink-salmon package. Blending 80% Pinot Noir with 20% Chardonnay, the wine is partially fermented in the press to develop its signature soft, fruity directness, while the Chardonnay component adds power and structure. The result earned 91 points from Wine Enthusiast and is one of the most versatile food wines in the sparkling category.

The nose is ripe and inviting: black cherry, wild strawberry, peach, and fresh red fruit. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and succulent — peach, wild strawberry, and plum flavors are framed by lively acidity and fine bubbles, with a clean, refreshing finish. Robust enough to stand up to bold cuisine, yet elegant enough for the apéritif hour.

Wine Enthusiast 91 — “A hearty 80% Pinot Noir dominates in this sparkler. With a pink-salmon hue, it offers peach and wild strawberry aromas followed by similar, medium-bodied flavors, with the addition of succulent plum.”

Raventós i Blanc | Blanc de Blancs | Conca del Riu Anoia | 2023

In 2012, Raventós i Blanc made a decision that sent shockwaves through the Spanish sparkling wine world: they resigned from the Cava DO. The family — whose roots in Penedès go back to 1497 — felt that Cava’s rules had drifted too far from quality and terroir, and they walked away to found their own appellation: Conca del Riu Anoia. The standards here are strict — all organic farming, indigenous varieties only, traditional method, and a minimum of 18 months on the lees. The Blanc de Blancs is sourced from Vinya del Llac, a single vineyard over 40 years old, and blends Xarel·lo (50%), Macabeu (35%), Parellada (10%), and the rare Malvasia de Sitges (5%) — none of which went through malolactic fermentation, preserving the wine’s natural tension and freshness. The 2023 vintage was the third consecutive year of extreme drought in the zone, producing a small, concentrated crop harvested earlier than ever. The result is a sparkling wine of genuine complexity: aromatic herbs, dry hay, and straw on the nose; vibrant, mineral, and zesty on the palate; with abundant fine bubbles and a spark of freshness that lingers through the finish.

• Appellation: Conca del Riu Anoia, Penedès, Spain
• Blend: 50% Xarel·lo, 35% Macabeu, 10% Parellada, 5% Malvasia de Sitges
• Method: Traditional method (Méthode Classique)
• Lees Aging: 18 months in bottle
• MLF: None
• Farming: Certified Organic
• Vineyard: Vinya del Llac (40+ year old vines)
• Vintage: 2023
• Format: 750ml
• Drink Window: Now – 2029

Critical Acclaim — Vintage 2023

Wine Spectator — Alison Napjus | 90 Points: Minerally on the nose, with hints of petrol and brine, offering notes of dried raspberry, mandarin orange peel, chopped almond and smoke set on the lively bead. Zesty finish.

Domaine Le Galantin Bandol Rosé Organic — Provence 2025 750ml

Domaine Le Galantin is one of Bandol’s most authentic and quietly revered estates — a family domaine farming southwest-facing hillsides of clay and limestone in the heart of Provence’s most serious appellation. Their Bandol Rosé is the benchmark for the style: structured, complex, and built to age in a way that most Provençal rosés simply cannot. Blended from approximately 62% Mourvèdre, 21% Cinsault, and 17% Grenache — all hand-harvested — it is vinified with meticulous care: a two-day cold soak at 5°C to extract fruit and aromatics, cool fermentation with blocked malolactic, and bottling no earlier than March 1st as required by Bandol appellation law. Around 5,850 cases produced.

Pale salmon in color with brilliant clarity. The nose is expressive and aromatic: peach, nectarine, grapefruit, dried orange zest, and a touch of Provençal spice. On the palate, the attack is round and fresh, with a structured, complex mid-palate of citrus and red fruit. The finish is persistent and salivating — a rare combination of finesse and character that sets Bandol apart from every other rosé in the world.

• Producer: Domaine Le Galantin, Bandol, Provence, France
• Vintage: 2025
• Appellation: Bandol AOC
• Blend: ~62% Mourvèdre, 21% Cinsault, 17% Grenache

The rosé that proves Bandol plays by its own rules — Le Galantin is Provence at its most serious and most rewarding.

This Rutherford-dominated blend of Cabernet Sauvignon complemented by Bordeaux grape varieties offers aromas of blackberry cobbler, plum, and black currants, followed by warm hints of vanilla and caramelized black fruit. A concentrated, silky wine emphasizing varietal expression, richness and balance from start to finish. 

James Suckling 92 Points | This tank sample of the final blend before bottling shows an abundance of ripe, juicy, almost syrupy fruit flavors, from blueberries to blackberries and cherries. It feels soft and plush, tastes warm and broad and adds chocolate and vanilla accents to all the sweet-tasting fruitiness. Drink or hold.

Jeb Dunnuck 90 Points | Ripe plums, darker berries, spice, and chocolaty, savory herb notes all emerge from the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley, a nicely textured, medium-bodied, incredibly satisfying Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon that has ripe tannins, plenty of mid-palate depth, and a great finish.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2022

James Suckling 92 Points | A full-flavored, medium-bodied red that offers good, bracing acidity and moderate tannins that lift fresh, delicious raspberry and dark cherry flavors. Hints of earthiness and flint on the nose, then vivid, dark-fruit flavors and a mouthwatering texture. Drink now or hold.

Producer Description

This wine expresses forest floor fruit. Blackberry, blueberry, and raspberry round out the velvet balanced structure and in her finesse. Cooper Mountain is a pioneering winery in Oregon's Willamette Valley, established on the outskirts of Portland in the late 1970's.

In 1978 Dr. Robert Gross and his wife Corrine planted Pinot Noir and Chardonnay on the slopes of Cooper Mountain, west of Portland. In 1987, the family converted an old horse barn on the property to start their own label, becoming early adopters to organic and Biodynamic farming practices in Oregon winemaking by the early 1990's.

"Our role as stewards of our 200 acres is a vital part of our process. Cooper Mountain has always been a trailblazer in sustainable growing, receiving organic certification from Oregon Tilth in 1995. Our commitment to these practices is an important part of our identity and that's why 100% of our wines are organically grown. We believe in Biodynamic farming practices. We've been farming that way since the early 90's and received our certification from Demeter in 1999. Every bottle of wine we make today is made from Biodynamic grapes."

The Wine Enthusiast 96 Points | A fabulous vintage of Filius, and a total bargain for this level of quality. Layered aromas appear from first sniff: plump currants and plums, dark chocolate, savory herbs and florals, graphite and a mineral, iodine-like nuance. In the mouth, there's bright fruit and silky texture, with savory, fine tannins and a long, elegant finish. Made to drink now or to age for several more years. A wonderful intro to this distinctive Aussie style.
